R OUTING T ABLE
This page displays the information necessary to forward a packet along the
best path toward its destination. Each packet contains information about
its origin and destination. When a packet is received, a network device
examines the packet and matches it to the routing table entry providing
the best match for its destination. The table then provides the device with
instructions for sending the packet to the next hop on its route across the
network.

The Routing Table is only available when the 11n Router is set to
Router Mode.
